You tapped it, so we're playing it. It's ZM's Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM's Brie and Clint, thanks to KFC's new Katsu Bowl, here for a good time, not a long time. Woo! ZM's Brie and Clint. I change your life if you just live on a night. Kuhn, everybody. Bree and Clint without Brie.

Another one bites the dust. It's revolving sickies here at ZM at the moment. sucks at this time of year as we're coming into spring, but such as life, that's the way it is. Ella just said her appetites just come back for the first time since getting sick last week. Hooray! Yeah, I love eating, so it was a bit of a sad sack the last week. Hide the carrot sticks.

Yeah, truly. I was saying... She's already talked about carrots. I keep forgetting to bring my carrots to work. Hide the hummus, y'all. The vegan has her appetite back. She's returned, baby. How do we feel about... I was listening to Brooks News there and the car idea just got named Bird of the Year. How do we feel about Bird of the Year?

I got a lot of chat when, was it Colbert or whatever his name is, was doing the poo-teke-to-teke. I am going to come out and say something, which some people will find offensive. But I think Bird of the Year is rigged. How do you? Whoa. I didn't even get my whole opinion out before you try to cancel me. Okay, it's getting worse, them. I think they just share it around.

I think they just go, what birds do we want a champion this year? Yeah. Let's give it to that one. I think Bird of the year is the ultimate participation award. And that year that Colbert or whatever his name is, one of the talk show guys, the year that he showed some interest in it and they got bombarded with all those votes, they're like, oh, Christ, we might get audited. We've got to give it to him.

We better make it legit this year. You're telling me, you're telling me that the Carrere, or whatever the name of that Falcon is, that won, you telling me that's been the most talked about bird in New Zealand of the last 12. months. But let's be real, who's voting? How many people are voting? Well, Brooke just said it 1 by 14,000 votes. 13,000? Okay, I take it back. No, no, no, she said it one by 14,000 votes. Yeah, right. That's the gam. So they are voting. Maybe it is rude. You guys are not bird people, clearly. I love it. Okay, okay, okay, okay, no, no, okay, why is Claudia, you've got 15 seconds to tell us why the carderee is the bird of the year. Uh, because it looks

really cool. It's the New Zealand falcon. It only is. exists here. It's got a cute little beak and big old wings. And at least 14,000 people like it. Actually sounds pretty cool when you put it like that. Yeah, leave it alone. I went to Paradise Valley in Rotorua last weekend for the first weekend school holidays.

A place I completely forgot existed, but it's in Rotorua behind Mount Nongataha. There's lions there. What? There's six lions there. Shut up. Do we have lions in New Zealand? We've got multiple lions.

They've got a lion sharing program there with New Plymouth or something they were saying. Anyway, my point is, there's this area that you walk into, like a bird area, and there's just Kia, just in there, just hanging out. Like you could just, don't touch them, but you could just touch them. In an enclosure? Yeah. That's sad. Well, I think it's like conservation.

Oh, okay, that's funny. You weren't sad about the lion. I'm a bird person. This is a big bird person. Okay, I'm lost. Anyway, Paradise Valley. I recommend it. It was a good time. Can we do Trady Lady? We can do Trady Lady.

But we never do Trady Lady. Just today, please. Oh, can you guys play? Oh, no, no, no. No, I was just moving you along. She's not a bird person, you see. No, I am born. Oh, no, he didn't like that.

Oh, no. We went home way into the show. I think Ella's getting sick again. She's gone. Trady versus Lady is on. It's 79 all, which means the tradies can go ahead. They still haven't been ahead. They are level again. If you would like to play, you can call now on 0800 dial Z-M.

we went to the local high school to run around with the dog and I think I witnessed an end of year prank that had gone down at this high school are high schools finished for the year are they on study leave yet I think it's the two week holidays

and then they go back for a week yeah they go back for like a real short amount of time and then it's properly well I think I witnessed I think I witnessed a end-of-year prank at this local West Auckland High School, which will remain nameless. There's something that's been burned into the field, and to explain what that is,

because I mean, who knows who's listening at the moment, I'm going to employ this clip from Austin Powers. I think I saw a giant... Packer! Oh, where? Wait, that's not a woodpecker. It looks like someone's... Privates!

We have reports of an unidentified flying object. It is a long, smooth shaft, complete with two balls. What is that? That looks just like an enormous... Whang! Pay attention. I was distracted by that enormous flying...

Willie? Yeah. What's that? Well, it looks like a giant... Johnson. Yes, sir. Burned into the field with petrol. Well, something, or weed killer, or something...

It would have been 20, 30 feet long, this thing. I was with my daughters, and I was making a video of it, and they're like, Dad, why is that funny? Why is that thing on the field funny? And I said, I don't know. I'm just trying to figure out what it is. Can you go over and see what it is? And they did.

My girls are four and six. And this was their interpretation of what they saw burnt into the grass. What is it? It's a B and a D. A B and a D. Is it a B and a D? It's a B and a D. Yeah, real BD.

They're not wrong. You use your kids for that same content? No, they came back with it. I didn't tell them that. They saw a D going one way. No. And a B going the other way and they didn't see them join at the top.

That's the bit. Bad man. It was a real B-D. It had B-D-E. What was burned into that field? What's an E? If you don't know, then I'm not going to explain to you. I'll tell you when you're older.

Yeah, I'll tell you when my kids are older. Good. I mean, fairly traditional as far as a prank goes. But I wondered if we could hear from people who pulled off a successful end-of-year prank at their school. I didn't, and I know that our producers didn't either. No one had a good one. Yours was so tame. Yours was like chalk.

I think someone also got salotaped to a tree. Oh, like, cool, you got us. Nah. Wow. Did you steal the principal's car? That's what I'm talking about. You know, that's the kind of prank I want to know about. That's naughty.

And for telling us you can't get expelled or anything because you're finished. Obviously, don't tell us if you did it in year 11, and you've got to go back to finish year 12 next year. or something like that. Or if you're in your last year and you're planning it in the coming week. Yeah, or if there's criminal charges pending, don't tell us that. Or do, or do tell us. It's not our problem.

I've got a nudie run on the field. That's always funny. Yeah, I find a teenage nerdy run problematic. Yeah. Maybe no. Good call. At a sports game. But, I mean, if you were at an all boys school and it was all boys, then all girls.

I don't know. See, look, now I'm uncomfortable. No nerdy runs. Okay. But I want to hear about successful end of year pranks. And if it went well, hey, you could inspire the next generation who are finishing this week, last week, next week, we don't know. They're about to finish.

That is Franklin. I didn't name the high school, but people have figured out where it is straight away. There's text messages which have correctly identified the high school. So I don't know if they've gone on Google Earth, and this giant's artwork on the field is visible from there or not, but yes, busted, that is the school. So we asked, what's the successful end-of-year prank that you pulled off at your school?

text in and said, my dad told me that they put the principal's mini into the school pool in the 70s at Linwood High School. If that's true, that would be legendary at Linwood High School. And surely, surely someone else can corroborate that, right? Car in the pool. Car in the pool is an awesome, well, not for the principal, but yeah. What other pranks have we got that have come through on this? We asked you, what's your successful interview of prank?

Someone said we printed 300 A4 pictures of the principal and taped them everywhere to every door and window in the school. He said it was borderline bullying. We said it was art. Someone else said, we wrapped the entire staff room in Glad Rap. We wrapped the chairs, the mugs, even the kettles. The teachers refused to unwrap anything and they just went home early win for us.

Someone else said, we told the year nines there was a secret end-of-year assembly in the gym and we watched 200 of them sit there for an hour waiting for a teacher that never came. You'd have to get that one out across on the teachers too. You would have had to convince the teachers. Yeah, otherwise they'd come in and be like, this is not happening.

Get out of here. This is not a real. Pretty good. Yeah. We lifted a teacher's Fiat Bambina car onto some blocks. He didn't have a sense of humour, so he gave us detention. We got drunk instead.

It was 1979. Yeah, see, when it says what happened in the 70s, I'm like, you guys could get away with a lot more. Yeah, you know it's good. There's like a legend at our old high school where they put a cow upstairs, but then cows can't apparently walk downstairs, so they had to get a helicopter and get it out.

I think this is an urban legend Ella, because I've heard that one before too, and someone's just text that in and said, my sister's class put a cow on the top floor balcony. Yeah, I think it's an urban legend. So it's not from my high school. Also, no one's ever checked if cows can walk downstairs. Only they can, because they go down, like, the little ramps to get into the truss.

Should I ask, hang, I'll ask Chat GPT. Can cows walk downstairs? They can walk down hills? Can they? Yeah. Yeah, but hills very different. Technically, yes, a cow can walk downstairs, but they really don't like to. And they often struggle with it.

A cow's knees and hips aren't built for steep downward movements. So going downstairs feels unstable and risky. Also, leave the problem. Poor cow alone. Yeah, hard. Like, the cow doesn't want to do with your shit prank. No, pranks to do with animals, eh? Like, some people let chickens out on the field.

That's all right. I feel like that's all right. That's suddenly free range. They'd love it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like, we're free. We asked, what was your end of year prank? Someone said, we changed the school bell to an MP3 of Derrude Sandstorm.

I quite like that. And whenever the bell went off, it would play Derrude Sansom. It took them two days to figure out how to fix it. How? Lunchtime was a full rave situation. How good? Epic. And someone said, I pooped in the urinal.

Oh. Was that brief? Got him. No. Prank. Prianna. You're like prank. Prank.

And the school's like, wow. You are thoroughly unemployable. You are graduating high school and this is how we're sending you out into the world. Mystery pooper. No, not mystery because he's owned up to it. Yeah, don't own it. He's texting radio stations about it. I think that's good.

Well, if you do pull off a good, but make sure you. Well, make sure you let us know, guys. We'd love to hear about it. No cows. No cows and no urinal poes. That's our only criteria. ZD.N.'s, Brian Clint. The tea.

Live from L.A. with Dean, what's the Goss with Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's wedding? Has it happened yet? It has happened. 170 guests all went to Santa Barbara, which is near Montecito, which is where Oprah, which is where Oprah lives and Harry and Megan live. Very, very beautiful. 170 guests, including Taylor Swift, actor Paul Rudd. And of course, Salina's only murders in the building co-stars, Steve Martin and Martin Short.

No word whether Merrill Street went, because, you know, she's dating Martin Short, right? So I don't know. I think I would have heard if she was there. She, as you may have seen, was over in Paris for Fashion Week, dressed up as Miranda Priestley at a runway show. so I don't know whether she went back to Selena and her and Benny's wedding but apparently he looks gorgeous I've got to post these photos on Instagram

Yeah wow what a guest list You'd hope Meryl Streep would go And not choose to go and do a character From the devil wears Prada for a joke instead But you know I'm sure she's not concerned I'm sure she's just happy the wedding is going down Taylor Swift is there Star Strutted

Also in Big Goss, Dean this has just come through Have you seen that Bad Bunny's been confirmed to do the Apple Music Halftime show at the Super Bowl? Just came through. I think that's such a cool choice. You know, he's massive around the world. And he's always on a great show.

It's exciting to have a different mix of music, you know. He'll be obviously doing a lot of it in Spanish as well, which is so cool. I'm excited. That means I would expect there'll be some other artists that he's worked with. He has some songs with, obviously, Cardi B, J. Belvin.

Drake. I expect some really cool. Drake. Yeah, there should be some really cool... I think he'd do something with Justin Beater. Some cool guest stars with him. Yeah, true. That's a good way to look at it.

It's the first current artist that they've had to do the Super Bowl halftime show in a long time. You think we had Usher, we had... Well, Kendrick's a current artist, but, you know, he's been going for 15 years kind of thing. Even Rianna's was throwback because we haven't had new music from Rihanna

in about a decade. And the Eminem Dr. Dre one. So heaps and heaps of throwbacks. and now they've gone with a truly modern artist. So it's quite cool, isn't it? Super cool. I mentioned it to see how it plays out. That's the T with Dean McCarthy. He's our Hollywood correspondent.

Dad Am's Bree and Clint podcast. Talking about lies, your parents told you growing up. You know, in the name of good parenting, I saw quite a useful one, actually, for me. I am a parent, so not everyone's going to get to use this. I mean, unless you've got a very gullible boyfriend who is addicted to the iPad, I guess this would work for him in that situation. Anyway, this is a mom and what she says to her kids

When it comes to the tablets I always told my kids that we rent the tablets Before we go on a trip And we return it when we get back from our trips So they can only use them on trips It's kind of genius Clever Clever

Keeps them entertained on the plane Or the train or the bus Whatever it is you're taking on your holiday And then when you get back They're not just an iPad zombie So when she gets home Do they just sit in a cupboard Yeah, she'd have a special cupboard

Everyone's got a special cupboard What's in the special cupboard? What's in the special cupboard? What's in your special cupboard? There's birthday and Christmas presents up there. Oh, yeah. And lollies, actually. Candy.

So where would I find the special cupboard? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're still house sitting? It's a good lie. We've told my kids the tablet is broken. It's not broken. We just told them it's broken because they got addicted to it. So we're asking what's the lie that your parents told you growing up?

I text my mum to see if there were any from my childhood. and she said no, no, there wasn't. Which either she didn't lie to us or she's still not willing to give the lie up. Yeah, that's another lie. Yeah. What about you? I think I'm similar where either there weren't many

or I just haven't found out about them but my dad did the classic like if the fast food logo sign is lit up it means closed. Oh, light on means closed. Man kids are dumb. Yeah, and I was like, oh man, it's broken again. Oh, I can't believe it's broken again.

Damn! It's up there with the... the green sleeves music means Mr. Whippy has run out of ice cream. Oh, yeah. We've asked, that's a classic that we always get. Someone else's texted in another classic. They said, my parents told me it was illegal to turn the internal light on in the car, and I believed it until my early 20s, which I wasn't told it was illegal.

I was told it was told that my dad would drive off the road. I was told both. It would blind him and he would drive off the road. My parents said it was illegal for that reason. Yeah. And then the first time I did. drove and someone did that to me. I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you doing? Yeah, I know. But now that we are drivers, didn't turn the light on if you want.

Yeah. We're all on TikTok while we're driving now. No? Like it's gone so far the other way that. Obviously, I'm kidding. We're asking what's the lie your parents told you growing up? Someone said, we had two pet budgies and one died while we were at school. Mum replaced him with a new, significantly more yellow budgie and she told us she'd taken barney the budgie to get painted and we believed that you could get special budgie feather paint four years again why wouldn't you believe your parents that's so funny you don't have any reason until a certain age you don't have any reason to believe to distrust what your parents say right um my parents told us that fizzy drinks are spicy

and we wouldn't want any this is spicy as the best lie you can tell a kid i tell my kids that all the time. You won't like it. It's spicy. It's spicy. I either tell them it's spicy or it's alcohol. I'd be like, what's that, Dad? I'll be like, oh, it's alcohol.

You won't like it. And they're like, oh, no, that's for adults. Come on, mm-hmm. Yes, it is. Chocolate milk. What else can we get? Lies that your parents told you growing up. You know, they thought they were being good parents.

Or maybe they didn't think that. Maybe they just didn't want you to have any of the thing that they were having. 9-6-96, or you can text it to 9-6-96. We're looking for lies that parents told. might have been the parents telling the lie. You might be the parents telling the lie right now. Let's out him. Oh, 800,000, or text 9696. We'll get the full comprehensive list. The ZM Podcast Network. We're talking parenting lies that you were told as a kid by your parents, or maybe you're a parent trotting out this lie. Or maybe you're an uncle and auntie with no

vested interest in that kid whatsoever. And you're like, yeah, I'm going to lie to this kid. I'm going to make them believe the craziest shit you've ever heard, not my kid. So what you got for us. Krista is on our 800 dials of them. Hi, Krista. Hi, how are you? Good. What was the lie?

You were told as a kid? Well, it wasn't what I was told, but it's something that my partner and I would tell our kids years ago when we were a bit younger. Okay, you're the liar. Yeah, we're the liars. We told them that the hazard light button in the car was an emergency button that if we pushed at our seat, we'd be ejected out of the roof of the power. And eject a seat button.

That's very funny, until you have a blowout on the road and you have to pull over and put your hazard lights on. And as you or your partner reached for the hazard lights and the kids are like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know? I have been known to threaten them and put my hand over the button. Oh, we're trying. Saw your attitude out.

Oh, I'll eject you. Thanks, Krista. That's very funny. lies that you tell your kids or you were told as a kid. What's yours Anonymous? Hey, I don't know why I chose to go anonymous for starters. My name's Eve. And

we tell our kids that if they litter, the birds will all die. And I also thought of another one that we used to tell my daughter who's 20 now. She refused to drink water. So we told her it was rainbow juice that came out of the tap in for fucking years.

She'd go to people's houses and ask them for rainbow juice and they'd look at me like, what? does she want Like she wants water Eve you're out the gate I can tell why you're anonymous at the start Yeah People know me

They know who I am Well they know I'm crazy anyway Do you know you just dropped an F bomb on the radio Or did that not Did that not register Sorry It's okay Lots of people do it

But usually when they do it They go Oh But for you it just kind of just Yeah I didn't even know Yeah We used to also

We call our kids She seeds when they're being naughty. She seeds. Yep, now put it together. She seeds. Oh, I see what you've done. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if I can drop that on the radio, but yep.

Big afternoon on the rainbow water, is it Eve? Yep, yep. Too much rainbow. It's too much. Thank you very much. Delies, you told your kids. Leslie's here. Hi, Leslie.

Hi. Yours is. Oh, Leasel. Sorry, Leasel. Yeah, no, that's so good. My bad, Leas. I was talking to me. Yours is.

outrageous the lie that your mum told you. What was it? Yeah, it was really cruel. As a young child, she told me that the bottom of a cornetto tasted really bad, and I should always give it to her. And so I grew up my entire life, throwing away the bottom of the cornetto. And when I was 28, my husband said to me, what are you doing? That's the best part.

And I realized it was chocolate. It's literally the best part. It is literally. It's the treat at the bottom of the cornetto. It is. Have you hit your mum up about it? I have and she doesn't remember it It's very convenient

Of course she doesn't remember it Oh she who hath enjoyed double The bottoms of cornettoes In her lifetime Yes he has Very cruel Well now you know And you can choose to do that

On your kids if you like Lisa We appreciate it We're asking what's the lie you were told As a kid from a parent Or maybe it's the lie you tell We tell our kids Whenever they lie their nose Will turn red so they cover their nose

Yeah that's cute I like that one I told my kids that the wiggles went on holiday so they would stop watching it oh no we can't put the wiggles on there on holiday they said I still sing rockabai your beer randomly it gets in man that's the thing

it gets in those songs hands in the air that won't help I told my kids that the family dog went back to the pet shop but really we had to put her down for attacking another dog down the road we didn't find out for years

that's a kindness as well I mean, the kids won't forgive you for letting the dog go back to the pet shop but it's either that or tell them that their dog was the bad guy, you know? Your dog was the villain. We've done our cornetto one. My brother-in-law was bought up.

Oh, where did that go? My brother-in-law was bought up, brought up to believe that the hay bales were dinosaur eggs. The best bit is they were a farming family and he believed it for years. That's embarrassing. My dad told us that cashew nuts were a gorilla nails. That's cute.

My parents told me the blood out of a medium rare steak was just the juice. So we didn't get grossed out. It is friggin gross when you think about it that your dinner is leaking blood onto the plate. But, I mean, good on your kids for actually eating the steak. We got told that if we play with our belly buttons, our bum would fall off.

Yeah, it's good. You can tell kids whatever you want, and largely, they'll believe it. Brie and Clint Podcast. Bree's off today. Not feeling the best. Hopefully back with us tomorrow. Let's have a round of how many.

How many? How many? How many? That's a good amount. The game you win if you have the most something and Samantha's going to play today. Hi, Samantha. Hi.

Hello. You got Instagram, Samantha? I do, yes. Are you an influencer? No. Do you have over a thousand? Do you have over a thousand followers, Samantha? Do I? I don't think I do.

I think it's a thousand that qualifies you as a micro-influencer. Isn't it, Claudia, isn't that the tipping point? I hope not because I'm not there yet. And I want to be a micro-influencer. Yeah, that's my biggest goal and ambition. Samantha, today you're going to win if you have the most what, Ella? How many people are you following on Instagram? It's not who follow you.

Yeah, if you follow the most people. Samantha? Okay. Yeah. Okay. I think all of our Instagrams are public. So if you were smart, you could have done the research on us before the game. But we're not going to give you time now. So Samantha, how many people do you follow? I follow 3,664. Oh, you've got a busy feed, Samantha. Geez, either that or you've just muted a lot of people and you're not mean enough to unfollow them. I did that a bit. Um, okay, you're in the 3,000s. Who do you think you follow more people then? Claudia, Ella, or me? Um, let's say Claudia.

Claudia? Ooh, okay. It's fun getting picked that. It's so fun. Well, I'll tell you right now, Samantha, if you'd picked me, you would have won. I follow, I believe I follow too many people. I follow 1,499 accounts. I like to have my number under 1,000.

You're way off then. I'm way off. You've got some unfollowing to do. I need to go and unfollow a third of the accounts that I follow. me and Ella make the cut. Yeah, you're all up, you're all up for the cut. Ella, how many do you follow? 792.

That's nice. Yeah, it is nice. Although, again, I need to do a cult. You just end up following random craft accounts and fashion account. I don't need any of them. Yeah, yeah. You know? Get them gone.

Okay, Samantha. I feel like you're going to win this. I feel like you've got an unbeatable number. But it all comes down to Claudia. If Claudia follows more people on Instagram than you lose. What was your number again, Samantha? 3,664. 3,664.

Claudia, on your most used Instagram accounts, the one you used the most. How many people are you following? I need to do a cull as well, because I am following 5,000 and 59. Damn. So the least out of all of us, actually. Samantha.

Yeah. Congratulations. You've won free KFC this afternoon. And we strongly am. encourage you to curate that feed a little bit, you know? Yeah, I should, yeah. Go in there, go in there.

This is what I do. I look at the account and I go, does this person in my mind give me positive thoughts or negative thoughts? And if it's negative thoughts and it's a hate follow, then I go, why am I doing this? Are you hate following? No.

Not anymore. Not anymore. We're totally going to go followed. Probably now, probably now that I'm back up at 1,400. Hey, thanks, Samantha. We'll get that out to you, ASAP. All good. Thank you.

What is the perfect number of accounts to follow? 96, 96, what do you guys reckon the perfect number is? What's the number where you see it? And you go, oh, that person follows too many people. I feel like, to be honest, anything over like 5 or 600. I feel like it should be... Because otherwise you know it's not... Under 1,000's nice.

But that's a lot of people. I don't know 1,000 people. I don't care about 1,000 people. I'm following not just friends. So that's fine. What's not just friends? Like celebrities. Oh, yeah, but...

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of people. Yeah. I'm going to randomly scroll now and unfollow the first person that it lands on. Oh, no. Are you ready?

Yeah. You ready? This is gross. And stop. Um, oh. Sorry, um, Cal Payne from the edge. Oh, no. A ZM's Breinclin podcast.

Bree's off today, hopefully back with us tomorrow. She's not feeling the best. Um, she was at the All Blacks game. me on Saturday. And we had one of those experiences where you go, oh my God, how did we end up in here? Bree and I both got invited to, and I don't say this to brag. I say this to share the experience and also to brag a little bit. We were in the VIP lounge at Eden Park. It's in the top of one of the stands. Well, it's sort of halfway up the stand. It's got like a big balcony. And usually those things are cool, you know, like there'll be some food going around

and some free drinks. Oh, usually, because you get to go to other times. This was next level. I think every single famous person from the last 15 years in this country who was in the country at the time was in the lounge. And Brian Clint. And Brian Clint.

And Brian Clint and Roj from the Rock. Nice. So, yeah. I took my father-in-law with me and every time you turn, he went, oh my God, there's such and such. Oh my God, don't look over this. there, there's such and such.

I was recognising a lot of people and I thought Ella, I could name some of those people that I saw and your challenge is to tell me who they are and why they're famous. Are you up for it? Yep. Okay, these are all famous New Zealanders, household names. Okay, can I just say?

Are you going to shout me lunch now on Friday? Why would that be the outcome of this? I did a good job. Thanks, man. I can't. I can't on Friday, sorry. Why? I'm having lunch with Roger Tui Vasa Sheik from the Rock.

Shit. Yeah, fair enough. Play Z-Dems, Bree and Clint. I was talking to one of the girls who works in the coffee shop next door, the same coffee shop that you go to as well, Ella. And I said, what's going on? What's the hot goss? Oh, okay.

What's the hot goss in here at the moment? And they said they've been talking about the phenomena that happens in their cafe, which I imagine would happen in most cafes, but I never really thought about it. She said, so it's not a huge cafe, it's a coffee shop really, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's probably like, I don't know, 10 metres by 10 meters. Like, it's not a huge... No, and there's like cabinet food, but like...

But if you walk in there and the person behind the counter is there, there's no way you're not going to see each other from the second you step foot in the door. Totally not. You will know each other at there. She said customers regularly will go in there and they'll go, hi, how are you?

The baristas. The baristas. Yes. And the customer will not acknowledge them, not make eye contact. with them. Oh, that's bad. Not say anything and not even have earpods in or be on their phone or anything. So no excuse. That was my question. I'm like, are they just not hearing it? Walk to the cabinet. Look at the cabinet food. And then if they decide that they don't want anything, turn around and walk back out. Oh, that's bad. Without acknowledging that another human

being was in that room at all. And it's definitely like a, all right, if me then. Like, yeah, totally. I guess I'll just go F myself. Yeah, literally. I guess I'm just an invisible piece of ass. Because the right thing to do is go, hi, I'm just checking. Oh, no more good. Oh, actually nothing for me.

Yeah. Yeah. Or just, I'll leave it, thanks. Yes. All you have to do is go, thanks, and turn around and walk out. And that will be fine too. Those same people they said, if they do decide they want something, we'll just go over to the counter and they'll just go,

toasted sandwich. Nothing, not even a high? Like, they're not even people. They're not even people. I hate that. I would hate it too. I would find at the height of rudeness, but you'd still have to smile and be polite.

No, I'd call them out. The question is always right. I hate that saying, eh. The one that I used to get all the time, because I worked in a cafe for years. Yes. People would walk in, and you'd acknowledge them first. You'd go, morning, how are you?

And they go, I'm just looking things. And I'm like, okay, that's cool, man. I wasn't asking that, but... I'm just browsing. I'm the real happy for you. Okay, it's a cafe, but that's okay. You're just browsing. Wait, you worked in a cafe?

Yeah. Can you make coffee? Yeah. Can you? How come you've never offered? I don't want to. There's a reason I don't work there anymore. Because you can't make coffee. I can. I thought we could offer people who have to deal with us filthy customers every day.

Offer you the chance to call up. And my question for you is, what do you hate about customers? We won't put your business to this. We won't associate with you with your workplace in any way. In fact, we can keep you completely anonymous, but you get to tell us what you cannot stand about us, the public, for a change, whether you work in a cafe, a bar, a restaurant, a clothing store,

a supermarket, it doesn't matter if you have to deal with us on the daily, what are we doing? What are we doing that really grinds your gears? ZDM's Bree and Clint Podcast. We're giving people who work in jobs that deal with us, the customers, the opportunity to tell us. What do you hate about us? I was talking before about my cafe next to work

who said that people will regularly come in and not even acknowledge that they exist. Like they will go, hi, and they'll go, look at the cabinet, turn around and walk straight back out. Someone said that happens every day, multiple times a day in the cafe that they work in. So let's get some more complaints in from people who deal with customers. Like you, Zara.

Hi, Zara. Hello, how are you? We're good. What's wrong with us? What are we doing? Retail. Oh, my God. People do not know what a human is. Size 36 for a shoe. And you're like, okay, hello. No, please, no thank you. It's so aggravating. It's so aggravating. And even the worst is clothes in the changing room. Leaving the clothes in the changing room. This is quite a good one.

Because sometimes I don't know what to do with them. You don't want me to take them back out to the show. shelf and try and fold them, do you? I personally prefer you to, but maybe that's just me. But I'll make a mess of them. I won't do as good a job as you. But reject rack, I don't mind. Yeah. But leave it, yeah, the changing room, that's crazy.

Leave a full changing room full of clothes. Like a teenager's bedroom, eh? Literally. And you're like, okay, couldn't put any effort back. Okay. Nice. Okay, okay. Hey, this is helpful, Zara.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you. You might have changed the behavior. of at least two or three people with that. Well done. That's more than no one. I hope so.

Someone said, I've worked in a cafe for six years and the thing you described happens daily. You can say hello, how are you to someone's face? And they will stare blankly into your eyes and ignore you as if you don't exist. Someone said, I can't stand when they walk into the restaurant or store and ask,

are you open? Like, no shit. I don't just stand here while we're closed. I'm an early childhood teacher. Can I tell you right now, I do not want to help you look for your child's missing sock. Okay, noted. We're asking, what do you hate about customers?

Someone said, I hate when someone asks if we have something. And I say, no, sorry. And then they go and ask my colleague a couple of minutes later, like that's going to make it magically appear. Yeah, but what if you don't know where it is? Like, what if I think they look more competent than you? You know, what if I... You're still the problem.

Yeah, yeah. What if I think that you don't like me? and I think maybe the other person will like me more. I work in insurance. People really don't read their policies. And then they get mad when shit's not covered. That's your problem, my friend. Need I say more?

You would get that all the time in insurance. Because people don't look. They don't look. They buy it. And then they never look at it again. And then they pay the bill every year and they never check. This is outrageous. Someone said, what do I hate about customers?

When people come in and ask me, what their pin number is to their own card or they'll say to me what account do I press like how am I meant to know that that's wild you should one time just reach over

and just push a whole lot of buttons and go I don't know well this works 6-9-6-9 enter in savings I think imagine if it did work awkward so they'll be more likely than not I wonder how many you know how you get locked out of your phone

for 10 minutes if you get the pin number wrong a bunch of times I wonder how many incorrect attempts you get in an F-POS card? Oh, yeah, the banks are pretty good at, like, stopping the fraudulent stuff, so they'd be on it. Let's try with your card tomorrow. Oh, nah. For content. I am a female.

I was working in a car part store, and men would come in and straight up ask for a man to my face. And then I'd say, they're all busy. They would then ask for the manager, which jokes on them in the weekends. That's me, bro. That would be so frustrating. that you're in there in the goddamn store and they still won't take you seriously. I work in a cafe. I have a customer who doesn't like the design of the cup.

I serve him a long black. He wants me to change it into another cup for his coffee. Yeah, right. Surely if that's a regular customer, you just don't give it to the Minot Takeaway Cup. Or you say to them when they walk in, you go, we haven't changed the cups. And I work in a vet clinic. I hate it when clients try to emotionally blackmail us. That would be such a hard one.

that would be such a hard one because that moment when you've put their pet down and then you're like but you still have to pay for it I imagine you get a lot of people in that moment being like but I was really interested in the payment process when we put our cat down a couple of years ago I thought about it beforehand and I was like how do we do this like do I go out to reception

and like tap and go after we put the cat down because every time you go to the vet with a living cat they always say do you need anything else any worming tablets or anything

but if the cat's dead you don't need anything else do you no there's no I don't need anything to litter I mean maybe a box to put the cat If anything You guys could buy some stuff off me Like do you want half a bag of biscuits You want half a box of tablets back

Got some litter tray Fertiliser Well if you're wondering My vet what they did Is they lit up because we were all puffy and sad. They let us go out the back door. Oh, that's nice.

So we didn't have to go through a reception. And they said, well, email you the bell. Oh, I didn't get that luxury. I was sobbing in the reception and tapping my car. They're like, um, please stop crying and pay. This is embarrassing. You're killing the vibe at the vet. It is Franklin.

Should have made the battle name, Road. Their name's Bree and Clint podcast. No, Bree today. Over the weekend, we were at the All Blacks, and Bree and I got invited into a very fancy lounge, like a very fancy lounge. And I was like, what are we doing here? How did we get invited here?

Actually, I wasn't, because I was working at the game. so I know how I got invited. How did Brie get invited, you know? We're joking. But there were so many famous people in that lounge. So many famous people. Like, I was overwhelmed. We get to go to a fair few things through this job

where there are famous people, but not like this. It was like a famous off. Was it the who's who's? It was the who's of New Zealand sport politics. Celebrities. In media. Like someone you see, you know, you're a fan of.

Yeah. Do you go ask for a photo? Nah, I don't think that's the vibe. No, it's not the vibe. Do you fan girl, though? A little bit. You said they go, oh my God. It's a couple people where I was a bit starstrike.

Yeah, yeah, totally. Put it this way. There were three, three, I counted three prime ministers in that room. Oh, Helen Clark. No. She's not invited. She's not invited to anything at Eden Park. Oh, yeah, she's a hater of Eden Park.

You think Helen Clark is getting invited to the VIP box at Eden Park? Who else is? It was Christopher Luxon there. Christopher Luxon was there, Ellie. Oh, sheesh. I thought I could test you. I tested you earlier and you did surprisingly well, which is annoying for the segment.

But anyway, I'll test you again, see if you can tell me who these other famous people were that were in there in the box. Yes, sir. That I observed. So you got Tyker, you got John Key. You actually managed to get John Hart, which was the most impressive one of all.

That was a guess. He was a 90s all blacks coach. Oh, wow. And you got him. What about David Dallas Welcome home That's Dave Dobbin Who's that

David Dallas is a rapper Okay You just said Christopher Luxon he's on the list He was sitting with Max Key Really? Yeah, who's Max Key? The model, John Key's son Who's a model slash influencer

I don't know Berando Yeah, I'll give it to you, yeah Thank you. I think he's a property developer now. Oh yeah, nice. Dude's looking jacked, too.

Yeah. Like huge. Really? Swolled up. Swole. Swole's the word for Max Key. Yeah. He's looking swole.

Yeah. We've done, Sean Johnson. Chris Hipkins was in there. Oh, Labor Party. What, leader? Leader, yeah. Here you go. Well done.

Luke Metcalfe was in there. I'm going to guess another sports person. I don't know A model Who is he? A singer Why are you looking at me like that? Just tell me

Well, you're doing so well with sportsperson Oh, sportsperson Old All Black No He's a warrior James Fisher Harris was in there Another sports person No no no, I'm going to go

golfer Warrior Captain of the Warriors These are all people that were in the very swanky VIP lounge last, uh, on Saturday at the All Black's game. I was sat next to Sam Whitelock. All black player.

Well done, yes. Hey! Yes. I bet you were excited about that. I was actually. He's enormous. Um, is there anyone else on this list? Was Lord there?

No, Lord's not there. She's on tour. Of course, that's right. Do you think she would have gone though? Probably not. No. Apparently at parties when she was in high. school should be in the corner of the room

writing poetry which honestly bad. Well there was a couch in the corner where she could have written some poetry. What was the best sort of food served up there? They had hot sausage rolls at the very end of the game. There were sausage rolls and tomato sauce sauce, yeah. The ZDM podcast network. You might have seen on social media over the weekend. There's a Friends musical.

Stage show. For friends, obviously they're never going to do their reunion. So they're doing a stage show about it. You've seen a bit of it, haven't you, Ella? On TikTok and people are so stoked with it because the actors, the mannerisms are actually fantastic. And it's not coming off tacky. Which is such a hard thing to pull off.

Exactly. So everyone's pretty, at the moment, shocked and happy about how it's going. And the cool thing is, with the internet and social media, The actors, one of them who is playing Monica. Yeah. She has her own TikTok account, is now showing behind the scenes, which I like. Yeah. Kind of niche, but really cool. You would need to be the world's leading Monica impersonator to do that job, wouldn't you?

Yeah. And that's going to be you for life now. That's your thing, but that's okay. It's a British, I saw it's a British stage production. Is it? Because I'm going to London at the end of the year. I thought it was America. No, girl, it's in London.

I could actually go. You could go to this. If it's still on in December, yeah. It's called Friends, the musical parody. Yeah. And, yeah, I mean, you have to give yourself over to these things a little bit with any kind of musical theatre or theatre experience. Like, you've got to give in and go, okay, I'll just take it for what it is.

Exactly. But I still don't like tacky stuff, especially if it's like, not spinoffs, but, you know, like remakes. I am looking at a picture of the cast right now. And you're right, I saw the same clip as you, where the mannerisms and the sort of inflection and the way they speak gets it over the line. But if you look at the faces of the cast. Phoebe looks a bit different. It looks like friends from Timu. Like, you know how you go to look sharp on Halloween and they have a costume and it's called like, I don't know, it might be like a Justin Bieber costume.

But it says pop boy instead. That's the vibe that it's given. It's not Chandler, it's sarcastic guy. That's the... But don't worry about that. Could I be any more silly? Could I be any more, Chandler? Oh, that's the joke I should have made.

Please. Please. Anyway, Friends are musical. It could come here. Would you go? Claudia? Go on. Oh, absolutely.

Front row. But you don't even like Friends. Yes, I do. Do you? Yes. Oh, yeah, I caught her a Monica and she got offended. Yeah, thanks a lot. Who do you think you are?

Chandler. I don't think you're a shattler. Such a moniker thing to say. Hi. Guys, I could be Chandler. I think Clint could be Chandler. I think Clint could be Chandler slash Joey. No, I think Clint could be Camper.

No, don't give him that. No, you're a good-thor. Oh. I wonder who plays Gunther in that musical as well. I'm sure he didn't make the car. I was about to say something really mean, but I'm going to stop. Oh, say it off there. Now, say it out.

I'll be you in the car park. Do it, chicken. I was going to make a fat moniker joke. If you're languishing in the hallways. It's ZAM's Brie and Clint podcast. Have you guys seen this story about the guy who went to his own funeral, the Argentinian guy? No, but it's freaky. Sounds like the start of a bad joke, eh?

Yeah, it does. But it's not. It's a real news story. An Argentinian man is in the news today because he has shown up alive at his own funeral. Obviously, we all attend our own funeral, don't we? Oh, it's so poetic. You're so right. It's the one event we can't miss.

Oh, golly. Isn't it? Was he in the coffin and then starts knocking? No. Just like, no. I'm alive. So he's 22 years old. He's not been named, I think because the police are in a bit of trouble for this.

This 22-year-old Argentinian man went on a multi-day bender, like all-time bender. And then his family wrongly identified him as a dead person. who had been hit by a sugar cane truck where's family identified him his mum his own mother identified the body as her missing son she went off clothing

and distinguishing features I mean the guy might have been a bit messed up he'd have to be a bit messed up right but there would have been like maybe tattoos or something but the cops are like oh gee if you reckon he's yours yeah you can have him sorry but it wasn't him no DNA testing or anything I don't think they do

DNA testing they just get a family member to confirm firm it because why would they lie? They're like, that's a fit he might wear, that's him. I don't remember him supporting the Broncos, but yeah, sure, yeah, that's him. It wasn't him. No. And by the time he woke up from his bender,

he realized that all his friends and family were literally at his funeral. So he went and he goes, hey guys, I'm alive. And everyone was like, what the hell is going on? You would. Get the pride of your life. lose yourself. You would, SH-I-T, the B-E-D,

wouldn't you? Like, would you turn up? Yeah. Sure, and then what, you walk down the aisle and stuff? I would show up and do a zombie impersonation and walk up the aisle. I'd hop into the rafters and just be like, guys, I'm here.

All right, my brother, you wronged me in life. Just kidding, guys, I'm alive. I will haunt you forever, Darren. That poor mother, though. She had to go ID this random person Thought it was her son And then her son just waltzes into his own funeral

This is a real story by the way It's in the news It happened over the weekend Anyway, they then had to figure out who the dead guy was Because you guys have very quickly forgotten There's a whole body there And they did And that guy's been returned to his family

Which is very sad But I mean Happy for the family of the guy that was on the bender If your funeral's say 99 percent done. He's not in the ground but it's started. Can you still get a refund or? You did invite the other family and be like, you can take over.

No, I think that's on the police. It's a good way to fake your own death though if they've gone that far. And I know if you're going on multi-day benders you know that you've got some debts so you could get out of those. Anyway we joke but it's a real story.

That's crazy. Yeah, if he had some kids he actually was sick of he could have run away. Well, yeah But they would have all thought their dad was dead. It's hugely traumatic. It is crazy. But he's back. He will never...

Well, I hope he'll never have a bender that big again. That bender would have been huge. Play ZM's Brian Clint on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and live weekdays from three on ZM.
